<quoted text>Did you know the election is over; the people came out to vote for REDUCED renewal levy;and Educate Springboro's endorsement of Charles Anderson as the third candidate, because he was a private sector business man in the community; whose common sensebusiness expertise could join our current board members of common sense business expertise; thus forming a 3 member majority over our 2 retired educators who are deeply embedded in failed practices of the past -- making up false budget crisis and then withholding services from our students IF the people don't pass a school levy.That's the old way of doing things; but voters are optimistic that Malone and Stuckeyhave the ability to LEARN from our current board members, David Petroni and Jim Rigano.If Malone and Stuckey remain reluctant, then it will be transparent to our entire community that Malone and Stuckey are not FIT to serve our school children and community; andthey will be petitioned to step down from service IF they stubbornly REFUSE toSTAND UP FOR KIDS!

I wonder how you'll spin it when Anderson rarely votes with the pizza guys? It's so cute how you make it sound like he was your candidate all along. Malone and Stuckey sought him out. The MSA side fully expects Anderson to be his own man (and wants that), but you will find that he will rarely support Petroni and Rigano because overall, Anderson does not approve of their methods and policies.(He said this publicly!) What will you say then? You claim that he will be a great board member because of his business savvy. Will you continue to say that after he consistently votes against Petroni and Rigano? Or will you make up lies about him and begin speaking out against him? Oh, I can't wait for you to see that Anderson thinks Petroni and Rigano are clowns like the rest if us do!

By the way, MSA doesn't need to learn anything from the pizza guys - it is Petroni and Rigano who will be schooled, and we can't wait!

No Trust No Respect Due Mr. Malone in the board room, based on his true history, which is only now becoming known community-wide.

There is No MSA platform of trust elected in the board room. What's your point to overwhelming victory? Mr. Malone only came in second place as most popular board member; with only 5000 or so votes out of a school district with about 12,000 households. Where's the overwhelming victory in that?

The interrogation and judgment of Dr. Malone is just beginning, now that he is under the scrutiny of transparency in the board room. No more fooling the people some of the time; No more using our students running the high school like a union shop; taxpayers will settle for nothing but open communication and honesty all the time. Dr. Malone will not be given special privileges; and Dr. Malone will not be handed a blank check at taxpayers expense, just because of recommendations from the union staff of school employees.

Most important, our current board members are held accountable to being honest with taxpayers about what is needed through 2017;and it is most important to Taxpayers that our new board members are held accountable and they need to get on board with our current board's new Vision of Reform, working together toward sustainability, putting students first while maintaining fiscal integrity, withNO NEW TAXES needed for many years.

..... and that's overwhelming victory, thanks to the progress made in the last two yearsby our current board and school district leaders!

As Springboro Families and Taxpaying Homeowners can clearly see that our current board members, David Petroni and Jim Rigano, seek to build greater confidence in our schools for EVERYONE..... while others seek to build mistrust. From the outside, we've been labeled controversial. Why is that........?

Truth be told:Zero-based budgets and efficiency plans are not controversial. Updated technology and curriculum are not controversial.

Truth be told:Buses that run and roofs that don't leak are not controversial.

Truth be told:Putting children first is reasonable, not controversial.

Truth be told:Where the integrity was not maintained from within (and now we know) it is our right and our duty to rebuild it together.

COME GROW WITH US.....We will CONTINUE to work in the direction of confidence to restore integrity and trust in our schools.

We will continue to challenge the status quo where need be... and that IS a good thing!

Fresh Ideas have allowed our district to sustain itself in an uncertain economy with NO NEW MONEY required, with Renewal Levy that saves taxpayers $6.5 million! HOORAY FOR US!

If you Believe that leveraging school fees, services, personnel decisions, safety, or infrastructure maintenance to threaten families in order to influence regular or levy elections is wrong.....

If you Believe that overtaxing the Taxpayers is wrong.......

If you agree with putting Children First..........

Please join us at http://educatespringboro.org and help spread the great news that Children First Budget Works! It's for our Children, our community and toward a better future for our schools!

by the way -- Is Mr. Anderson YOUR puppet?

Should he not at least get sworn in as new board member, before YOU start speaking for him on this topix board, saying .... after he Consistently votes AGAINST Petroni and Rigano?

What disrespect for you to say "that Anderson THINKS Petroni and Rigano are clowns like the rest of us do......?" Sounds like the Rest of You that THINK like Anderson are Ron's Kids, better known around town as Ron's schoolyard bullies?

..... you say, MSA doesn't need to LEARN anything?,,,,,,,,, aw come on now, maybe just a Lesson in Humility might help? Humility means acknowledging that we have LIMITS, that we NEED support and guidance from others........

If you're going to twist words, at least do it well. I know that I'm significantly more intelligent than you are so try to follow along.

Did I say MSA had nothing to learn? No. I said that they had nothing to learn from the pizza guys. The community doesn't want them to learn from the insane people we are trying to rid ourselves of. Yes, MSA has a lot to learn as they begin their roles on the board, just not from the likes of Petroni and Rigano.

Second, no Anderson is not my puppet. In fact, I specifically stated that we want and expect him to be his own person in office. Fortunately, that means having the common sense to NOT vote with the pizza guys the majority of the time, though I'm sure he will on occasion which is fine.

Finally, this is the second time someone has asked me if I'm Jobe. I'm STILL not: I don't even know her, though I do know she is the one who ran the MSA campaign. It doesn't matter really, but I'm not about to reveal who I am until my kids are out of the school system. You have probably never heard my name in your lives anyway, I am not vocal in the community, so I wouldn't waste your time trying to figure out who I am. I'm simply a Springboro parent who hates everything KPR stands for, and I'm excited for things to change under MSA. I care about this community and hate what KPR are trying to do to it. Fortunately they've been stopped.

..... oh please, there is no mention of asking if you are Jobe in the Oops comments,and no interest in who you are; because by your own introduction, You are simply a Springboro parent who hates everything......(by the way, why is that?)

But, at least you have found common ground with the majority of the parents in this school district who agree with you that they are not about to reveal their names to their child's union teacher, nor their opposition to their child's indoctrination of unionism by our union teachers in the classroom (until our kids are out of the school district). For Sure, that's exactly what the Union masters set out to do -- Silence any opposition to their classroom indoctrination of unionism in the classroom.

Now, you say that you care about this community, and hate what KPR are trying to do.Since you are much smarter than Oops, perhaps you can enlighten us by answering a few questions:

Oh please, WHY do you hate Renewal levy that saves taxpayers (and this community that you care about)$6.5 million over the five year life of the levy, while continuing to generate surplus?

Oh please, WHY do you hate our school district's Efficiency plans that reallocate resources from under utilized programs to the gifted and early intervention. Oh please, can you tell us WHY you hate Putting Money where it is needed the most?

Oh please, WHY do you hate our District run preschool (instead of outsourcing as previouslydone) saving $132,000 each year?

Oh please, WHY do you hate Analyzing data to expose "Proficient" as failing?

The True History of a Man….through official documents written by third party observers. It is not as golden as you have bben led to believe. As the man who led our school district as high school principal for 13 years, Ron Malone held a special place of trust, authority, and influence in our community. How he chose to use those gifts is revealed in the public records reports of his professional peer reviewers, his superiors, and his own public pronouncements.

The recent note from Mr. Tom Isaacs of the Warren County Educational Service Center in defense of Mr. Malone is noteworthy in that it did not refute any of their prior conclusions or recommendations. DECEMBER 2010 - Warren County Educational Service Center auditreport on SHS program of studies RECOMMENDATIONS page 13:

"Increase the number of students taking the HIGH SCHOOLS THAT WORKS recommended curriculum/Ohio Core each year by at least 25 percent."Increase the percentage of students taking college preparatory courses. Eliminate any course offerings below the college preparatory level."

"Mr. Malone does demonstrate the ability to affect change, but sometimes very reluctantly. It sometimes takes numerous requests by Superintendent before changes are implemented."

Mr. Malone needs to improve on getting request goals to the Superintendent in a timely fashion. Examples include: Requested schedule of events for delayed start at the beginning of the year, at semester, and last week and have not yet received. Also requested times and dates of all staff meetings and quarterly updates on the High Schools That Work per 2011-2012 job targets.

This tactic robbed resources from areas of greater need in the district. Those who suffered the most were the gifted and those in need of early intervention.

One good sign of change is we NOW have a person who is ethical and mortal and will DRIVE WADE OUT OF TOWN in 2014. It is time for a positive change. Don't let WADE violate the law ANYMORE.

It is ALSO TIME to FIRE the ADMINISTRATORS (Pickett & Wilhelm,) FIRE the Zoning dude (Palmer) and the stupid fire chief (KIDD) He is USING all of us like WADE does.

Hey, Joseph Goebbels !!For 2014, see if you can find yourself a NEW GIG !!

Springboro Families, Taxpaying Homeowners, and all Citizens for Responsible Spending have much success to celebrate as we reflect on the progress that Educate Springboro has made in the past two years, maintaining fiscal integrity in our local school government, while being honest about what is needed through 2017! On November 5, 2013, voters sent a strong message of support for Children First Budget and Reduced Renewal Levy and Educate Springboro’s endorsement of community member business man, Charles Anderson, as the Number One BOE elected official, who has the greatest Professional ability to be open to advice and information from our current board members, David Petroni and Jim Rigano, whose Vision of Reform, is leading our students’ 21st century education opportunities in the direction of highest academic achievement potential; and away from status quo business as usual failed practices of the past. Welcome Aboard, Mr.Anderson! Springboro Parents are expecting a lot in 2014 from board members Mr. Anderson, Mr. Petroni, and Mr. Rigano, as they work together toward the difficult challenge of prompting our two, reluctant-to-change, retired educators, Mr. Malone and Mr. Stuckey, to get on board with our school district’s new business/educational philosophy of Children First Budget. It’s for our children, our community and toward a better future for our schools! How can any ONE of our FIVE board representatives NOT get on board with this winning agenda, putting Students FIRST, while maintaining fiscal integrity, AND being honest with taxpayers?

Special Thanks and Great Appreciation are due our departing board member, Kelly Kohls, whose four years of awesome service to our schools and community, as BOE elected official, has helped lead our school district to this unprecedented position of “celebration” of Increased Pay for every School Employee, and Reduced taxes for every Springboro family, with Renewal levy saving Taxpayers $6.5 million over the five year life of the levy, while continuing to generate surplus! Hooray for Us!

People in this community should stay alert for opportunities to remind Mr. Malone and Mr. Stuckey that we got a good thing going here in our Springboro schools and community, a Win-Win agreement with both the School Community of Employees and the Community of Taxpayers benefitting from our board’s Vision of Reform and applauding the progress made in the last two years by our school board and school district leaders, including Mr. Petroni and Mr. Rigano! Thank You, Mr. Petroni and Mr. Rigano! Please know of our continued support of our school district’s new philosophy of Children First Budget Reform/Levy Alternatives, as you join the new board members in facing the difficult challenges of the education business that lie ahead in 2014!

People in this community should stay alert for opportunities in the board room to remind Our retired educators, Mr. Malone and Mr. Stuckey, that no matter how many times they “vow to the SEA to put things back the way they were in the year 2000…..” you will NEVER convince Springboro taxpayers, who are moving PAST old outdated status quo, in the direction of Educate Springboro’s VISION of REFORM for our school children and community!

Taxpayers will settle for nothing less than FIVE board members who Stand Up for Our Students FIRST!….. and that is a much better way than the SEA way of pressuring Mr. Malone and Mr. Stuckey to Stand AGAINST Students First, in favor of putting emphasis on the financial gain of adult union employees first!

As Springboro Citizens for Responsible Spending say So Long to a very challenging and busy 2013 Year; let us not forget to Celebrate Our Great Success at the polls in May 2013, in the absolutely amazing DEFEAT of the 93% fire levy tax increase, promoted by our CCFD chief and Not to be trusted, Township trustees, Ed Wade and Jason Gabbard!

Let us not forget that Taxpayers still need to FIRE that firefighters' union member who STOLE the identity of our former school board president; and posted a false concession, in favor of Ron Malone as school board candidate, on this topix blog! The union lawyers settled in Veechi's favor of keeping his job, at Taxpayers Expense! What an outrage!

Even more a slap in the face from the CCFD employee is that this man was serving alongside our board president on the School's SAFETY committee, all along pretending to Care about our Students! How can the public ever TRUST this CCFD fire chief's judgement again, when he would not even recommend to the Township trustees that this employee be FIRED?(I guess one advantage to Taxpayers is that the CCFD can say Good bye FOREVER to NEW money for Fire Services, as long as Mr. Kidd is in charge).

Let us ALL remember that Ron Malone was our double dipping high school principal, who joined other pro-levy lovers of increased taxes, to endorse this tax increase (which would have pushed Clearcreek Township residents into the highest level of taxes among surrounding townships)! Stay Alert Voters, as this levy loving retired (again) educator, Ron Malone, comes on board to fight against Springboro Families and our Children First in his fight for Increased Taxes for Union Employees' financial gain first. Just check out the public records of Ron Malone's True History of job performance; dumbing down our students curriculum; while building up excuses for job security for union teachers, whose skills were no longer in demand. Not a chance that Ron Malone can get away with his "hidden agenda of running our high school like a union shop" as BOE elected official, under the transparency and scrutiny of Community Taxpayers in the board room.

<quoted text>Hey, Joseph Goebbels !!For 2014, see if you can find yourself a NEW GIG !!

Hey, UR an extremist nutcase who can't even handle the truth about the weaknesses of our former under-performing SHS principal, Ron Malone!

It's Ron Malone, who has lost his identity as insanely popular high school principal, who needs to find himself a NEW GIG (New Job Attitude) for 2014, and either find the backbone to Stand Up for Kids or else Put on his Boots Made for Walking..... Right out of our Board Room.

Alls Ima Saying, even our former board member, Don Miller, who was one of Malone's biggest supporters during Malone's Vote for Revenge Protest Against Board Authority in March 2012, did NOT endorse Ron Malone's candidacy for BOE member. Perhaps you remember that Don Miller was the one remaining board member who was supportive of Malone's status quo agenda, all the way back to the year 2005, when Mr. Miller was first elected as board representative.

Mr. Miller was supportive in the board room when Malone and Holtrey first brought the recommendation to RAISE the high play to pay fees, punishing parents of students who play sports for NOT "getting out there and passing those unnecessary NEW MONEY levies for Increased wages and compensation/benefits packages for school union employees (while recommending that we just throw our kids off the bus, and endanger their physical safety by forcing them to walk along dangerous rural roadways throughout the Township countryside). After all, Township Residents were blamed and shamed by the pro-levy lovers for "failing the levy" so why shouldn't Township kids be "punished" for their parents' "sins" of levy failure?

Don Miller was supportive of Malone's status quo agenda during the Boosters protest against board authority in July 2012, when a local pastor judged it to be a "sin" if the board did not hire Holtrey for a job that was open for applications, without Holtrey even applying for the open job! Don Miller was supportive of Malone's program of studies, pushing job security for union teachers, instead of highest academic achievement potential for Students first best interest. Don Miller was supportive of Malone's status quo protest AGAINST our Chidlren's First May 2012 school budget five year forecast.

But Don Miller was not supportive of Ron Malone's bid for elected office as board representative. Ever wonder why? Could it be that Don Miller knew Ron Malone's weaknesses? Or perhaps it was because Don Miller had recognized the strengths of board members David Petroni and Jim Rigano and agreed with their endorsement of Charles Anderson as Number One most likely to succeed as board representative, putting our Students First, while Maintaining Fiscal Integrity?

Put on your listening ears, all you "dumbos" out there who are in favor of Malone dumbing down our Progress made in the past two years within the framework of Children First Budget. The 5000 or so votes that gave Malone Number two most popular in the November popularity contest, does NOT represent the MAJORITY of community taxpayers! Get Real, the majority of taxpayers did not even care enough about our insanely popular has been a principal, Ron Malone, to even show up at the polls.

There is NO MSA majority;and No MSA one voice one vote authority! Just the Survival of the Species....... and IF Malone resists changing his status quo leadership style, refusing to embrace the PROGRESS of our school districts current VISION of REFORM, then Malone will beforced out of the board room "GIG" to go someplace else to UTILIZE his "insanely popular"with the SEA under-forming skills.

<quoted text>So, what you're saying is... the person we had before was IMMORTAL.That means he can never die!Awesome!

Hey "UR ignorant illiterate" declaring that old failed practices of the past, doing local government business the old status quo way,( ensuring job security for increasing numbers of Union employees, while OVERTAXING our taxpaying homeowners) is AWESOME, and can never die...... listen up! Never Say Never!

All living things that stop CHANGING and GROWING start fading away; and then the next step is to die! That's what our old outdated practices of forced unionization politics is doing to our local communities, counties, and cities throughout our State of Ohio. Clinging to old status quo collective bargaining rights of 1983, out of their FEAR of the progress of fresh ideas and much needed reforms, our government officials resort to emotional blackmail and "cutting services" to the people, instead of problem solving the tough choices of "cutting Government spending."

Learning to accept and adapt to change is the SKILL of a lifetime. Because there is never a shortage of changes for us to face, we should have plenty of opportunities to practice our adaptive skills--and to get very good at them! But, alas! The True History of SHS principal Ron Malone proves that in his "old age" he was most unsuccessful in dealing with the changes demanded of him as a professional educator!.... and the more you know about Ron Malone; the more pathetic Ron Malone will "grow" as a FIT Board of Educationrepresentative!

Unfortunately, we have elected local government officials (including Ron Malone, Ed Wade, John Augenbaugh) who refuse to face needed changes in their leadership skills, which no longer FIT our 21st century life style needs. So it's not a matter of their "immortality," but it's just a matter of TIME before the survival of the species renders their "services" obsolete. The clock is ticking......

If you are sincere about all this, you might consider reserving time to speak at Boro school board meetings. Folks around here tend to not give a lot of respect toward, nor pay much attention to passive-aggressive non-confrontational busy-bodies.
